Subject: FAQ general question
Could You explain me, what is the main difference between FreeBSD and Linux, are all of them are free simplified UNIX versions, why there are so many of them, what is the advantage of using one then the others. How should I decided what kind of UNIX clone will work best for me? Where can I see comparison with all pro and cons for so many UNIX clones? Please give me some advice. I realy like to try some Unix like operating system, but I do not know how to choose one over the other. Maybe it is silly of me but, I think there is a lot of people who would like to know, what is the basic difference between Linux, UNIX and FreeBSD, and if decided to go with Linux, what Linux to choose? My email address mrokosz@hotmail.com. Thanks.
